To embed a map on your website using MapKit, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Map: Use the "Create a map" tool on the Apple Developer website. This tool generates the necessary HTML code for embedding a map.
  2. Generate HTML: Customize the map with your place ID, developer token, and other settings. Once you have the map configured as desired, the tool will generate an HTML snippet.
  3. Copy and Paste: Copy the generated HTML snippet and paste it into your website's code.

This process allows you to add a map to your website without writing any JavaScript. For more complex use cases, you can use MapKit JS to display multiple points of interest or other advanced features.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session Unlock the power of places with MapKit.
